(from Wikipedia, so don't take it as Bible...)
In August 2020, Melendez sued the Liberty Media-majority-owned satellite and online radio platform Sirius XM Holdings Inc. for "using his name, likeness, and voice without permission" on its two channels dedicated to The Howard Stern Show and related content. Filed in the Manhattan-based U.S. district court, the complaint sought unspecified damages for Sirius XM's airing of old recordings of Melendez from his time on The Howard Stern Show, with Melendez claiming such action violated California law and his right of publicity while further estimating that more than 13,000 hours of the then-syndicated morning radio show feature his voice, name and identity which Sirius XM benefits from by selling advertising without compensating him.
Melendez's lawsuit was dismissed in June 2021 by the U.S. District Judge Paul A. Crotty who ruled that U.S. federal copyright law preempted Melendez's claims that Sirius XM violated his publicity rights under California law. The judge's written ruling further stated that Melendez did not show he was injured or that Sirius XM illegally used him to promote its services, adding that "the commercial advantage Sirius XM gains from playing The Howard Stern Show archives and running the advertisements flows from the rebroadcasting of the copyrightable sound recordings themselves, not from Melendez's identity”. Melendez's lawyer commented that the judge “adopted a unique analytic framework which we believe is inconsistent with prevailing law" while announcing the intention to appeal the ruling. The appeal was dismissed by a three-judge panel in October 2022.

I wonder if Al's boss lost his shit when Al went on a podcast to announce something personal.
Right about 1:07am on Wednesday 11/15 (the 11/14) show, Seth Meyers was airing a clip of Eve Hewson's new movie.
The word "tits" was aired and she showed her bra to take a photo (the movie scene.)
Being FCC-controlled airwaves, this is monumental.

"I can't wait to get out of radio ... I just can't wait to get out. I've got three years left and I'm gone, and I can't wait ... I wanna do three more years. I want to go out with grace and style ... I don't want to be Imus. I don't want to get too old and be mumbling in to the microphone from my ranch."

All part of leverage and negotiation of a contract.
Like the sim cards crap. Deep down inside...did he REALLY think someone was gonna sell a "Howard Stern Sim Card" that everyone would install in their cars so we could apparently use to listen...only in our cars?
Funny, he always sounds like he's about to have a heart attack, and now he did. I had the bypass surgery 3 years ago myself, but it was for the more typical arterial bypass, not the mitrial valve. I had the same surgeon who opened & closed for Dave Letterman. I spent a total of a week in the hospital the first time. But I was back in twice more - a week later, and 3 months later. Not fun, but I'm good now.
